Female Reproductive NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client has had a total abdominal hysterectomy for cancer of the ovary. Which diet should the nurse discuss when providing discharge instructions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A regular diet with fruits and vegetables supports recovery unless complications (e.g., ileus) are present. Low-residue or liquid diets are unnecessary, and low-sodium/low-fat is not specific.
Question 2 of 5
Besides a mild analgesic such as ibuprofen (Motrin), which therapeutic interventions are most appropriate for the nurse to recommend? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,E
Rationale: Heat application relaxes uterine muscles, reducing cramps, and massaging the lower abdomen can alleviate pain. Oral contraceptives require a prescription, tampons don't relieve cramps, reducing activity is unnecessary, and lying prone may not help.
Question 3 of 5
When the nurse provides the client with pretest instructions, which statement is most correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A full bladder is required for a transabdominal prostate sonogram to provide a clear acoustic window for imaging.
Question 4 of 5
The client is being discharged after a left wedge resection. Which discharge instructions should the nurse include? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: Notify HCP for fever (infection risk), use right hand for heavy items (protect left arm), and annual mammograms (continued screening) are appropriate. Avoiding crowds is unnecessary, and immobilizing the arm is not advised; gentle movement aids recovery.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client diagnosed with uterine prolapse. Which information should the nurse include in the discussion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Limiting coughing and heavy lifting reduces pelvic pressure, preventing prolapse worsening. Fluids and exercise aid bowel health but are secondary, multiple treatments exist, and daily visual checks are unnecessary.
